The saga begins

Argh.

So I got my test results back and everything is within the normal range. I'm not really surprised but I suspected that without a smoking gun my OB would suggest something lame like lotion. And what do you know? She did.
She did agree to do an ultrasound and request more blood tests so that's something. This is where the whole speaking spanish thing gets irritating for me. I mean, I don't have the translation for Cholic, Deoxycholic , and
Chenodeoxycholic acids, or even Bile Salts for that matter in my head. It's just a bummer that there is no consensus among the women I've been in touch with or their doctors for what all the different blood tests really even mean. It seems like some women have numbers off the charts and no itching and manage to get their babies out safely, then there are others who itch a little, have moderately weird numbers and whose babies die. It is very confusing and scary when I know so well how badly things can turn out. But I'll try to stop jumping to conclusions and go talk to my doctor in person. That has to be better than on the phone right?
